:1,5,43,215
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 490,215 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 490,215 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 585,300
3 | 585, 300 |
5 | 195, 100 |
39, 20 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 5 x 39 x 20 = 11700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/11700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 490/585,215/300 is 5/11700
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 585,300 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(585,300) = 15
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(585,300) x common factors =15 x 1 = 15
LCM(585,300) = ( 585 × 300 ) / 15
LCM(585,300) = 175500 / 15
LCM(585,300) = 11700
